So this week was good!
Where to start...
Well Mary is amazing. as in she is totally getting baptized. as in she got baptized last night, Thats right MARY IS A MEMBER!!!!
So now lets talk about this week. so we saw her tuesday and she was great. then thursday she taught institute but was getting a little overwhelmed with all the church stuff and some things from her past were coming back. Let me tell you all that the devil sucks. He was attacking her hard core. So then friday we were texting her and all was fine and then that evening we got a text from her saying that she was done and couldnt do it anymore. so we got Taylor Tamacori to get us on base and into Mary's room where we calmed her down and then got her to get out of her room. So she came to the temple with us on saturday and was okay but pretty much trying to ignore all of her emotions. So then sunday came. We were supposed to be going to the Outgoing fireside with her and it was her bday. so we gave her a present and then sent her off to sunday school while we went to our other ward. then we left the m2 ward and went to the ysa linger longer. and after about 2 mintues elder mcintyre walks in and says so I need to talk to you two. then he says mary might be getting baptized today. WHAT? so then Im like this is a joke. then Taylor Johnson who is mary's good friend walks in and motions for us to come over. Yep not a joke. So I guess Mary started to panic after sunday school and that she asked taylor Johnson about priesthood blessings so after a good while elder hardy gave taylor johnson a blessing so show mary how is went and then after more convincing Taylor Johnson gave her a blessing and then Elder HArdy was joking and said you could get baptized today if you wanted. And she said "really? okay." so then she had a baptismal interview and next thing you know we are planning a baptism for 3 hours later. Sorry looks like I wont be going to the outgoing our investigator who was going to take us is now getting baptized. hahaha It was so good!!! the baptism was amazing! she was so happy!!! oh!! I cant wait for the adventures that will come!!! This church is so true.
So that was the story of Mary. More stories to come I am sure. hahaha That morning we had been tlaking to the relief society president and she was saying how many of the girls were leaving the ward in the next couple months and how we needed more. So then she was like I have faith that we will get more. So I went up to her later and was like so we got you another sister! hahaha I love life.
So we also got to go to the temple. it was great. I loved it. Wish I could go back! we also stopped in pleasanton for lunch so I was excited about that as well. :)
WEll the best part is now next saturday we have another baptism for the mabini girls! Cant wait for another week!
Love you all!
